Corneal

The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped front layer of the eye that plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the retina, enabling clear vision.

It acts as the eye's primary refractive surface, contributing significantly to its overall focusing power. Corneal health is vital for maintaining clear vision, and conditions such as keratoconus, corneal ulcers, and dystrophies can lead to vision impairment. Corneal treatments range from corrective lenses and medications to advanced surgical procedures like corneal transplants or collagen cross-linking. Ensuring proper care and treatment of the cornea is essential for preventing vision loss and maintaining optimal eye health.
